Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed? And the remaining time for indexing (properties)? And for other actions (e.g. "Sorting file names" that appears to take most of the time after / while indexing and lasts very long here).
It appears indexing these properties of about 14.500 video files with four different extensions (*.mkv;*.mp4;*.avi;*.iso) takes some or many hours:
It appears scanning index properties stays at 5 % for an hour or longer:
Is it like it should be? Is there a way to make it faster?

Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
The current file being scanned is shown under Tools -> Options -> Properties at the top right.
I will consider showing the time remaining in the status bar.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Indexing properties will take a very long time.
Indexing properties should only need to be done once.

Can not find that (even on the screenshot above):The current file being scanned is shown under Tools -> Options -> Properties at the top right.
Many thanks!I will consider showing the time remaining in the status bar.
Sorry, what does that mean to these questions: Is it like it should be? Is there a way to make it faster?Indexing properties will take a very long time.
Did you see the editions on my first post?
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Everything is indexing the properties of the root N: drive folder.Can not find that (even on the screenshot above):
Is Everything stuck on this folder?
Yes, indexing properties will be slow.Sorry, what does that mean to these questions: Is it like it should be?
Store your files on an NVMe SSD.Is there a way to make it faster?
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Yes. Sorry, I meant can one display the file / folder being indexed at the moment?Everything is indexing the properties of the root N: drive folder.
Sorry, what folder? Where / how can one see that folder?...ah, now there are folders shown and files. And no, suddenly it is at 66 %. So even indexing the properties of the root (because N: was shown for a long time) does take that long obviously.Is Everything stuck on this folder?
OK, I would when I'm finally a multi-billionaire. Would there be such a big difference in speed?Store your files on an NVMe SSD.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
It does display the current file/folder.Yes. Sorry, I meant can one display the file / folder being indexed at the moment?
Everything is indexing the folder: N:
Is the N: drive offline?Sorry, what folder? Where / how can one see that folder?
It's likely Everything was waiting for the N: drive to come online.
It will timeout after one minute.
HDD: ~30MB/s random reads.Would there be such a big difference in speed?
SSD: ~300MB/s random reads.
NVMe SSD: ~3000MB/s random reads.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
No, no. Now the process suddenly goes on steadily, do not know why 5 % was shown for such a long time.Is the N: drive offline?
Or may be resources were used by another process / program?It's likely Everything was waiting for the N: drive to come online.
So it looks like such SSDs are incredibly much faster. So everything that lasts hours here then would take minutes with those SSDs.HDD: ~30MB/s random reads.
SSD: ~300MB/s random reads.
NVMe SSD: ~3000MB/s random reads.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Please remove the Total Size on Disk property from Tools -> Options -> Properties.
This will gather the size on disk for all files (including all subfolders) for all folders.
It is extremely slow.
Please try removing any unnecessary properties from your index for the best performance.

I know it's not very practical for large video files.So it looks like such SSDs are incredibly much faster. So everything that lasts hours here then would take minutes with those SSDs.

Although having excluded all of the folders(?):This will gather the size on disk for all files (including all subfolders) for all folders.
Yes, I had tried it already. These files should be the only ones for which only these properties (*.mkv;*.mp4;*.avi;*.iso) are scanned.Please try removing any unnecessary properties from your index for the best performance.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Yes, that property is really slow.Although having excluded all of the folders(?):
It will still need to gather every single file from all subfolders to calculate the total disk size on disk.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
So obviously although the files are excluded they indeed are not, respectively not a single file is (may be a warning / hint near that property would be good and / or near other properties having the same / similar effect). Is there another way to get that size information?It will still need to gather every single file from all subfolders to calculate the total disk size on disk.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
This only applies to the "total disk size on disk" property.So obviously although the files are excluded they indeed are not, respectively not a single file is (may be a warning / hint near that property would be good and / or near other properties having the same / similar effect).
While this property is only indexed for root folders, to calculate the total disk size, every single file needs to be searched.
Currently, no.Is there another way to get that size information?
A "Used space" property is on my TODO list.
Consider using the Size property.
This property will be close to the size on disk property.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
OK, I removed the other one. Many thanks!Consider using the Size property.
This property will be close to the size on disk property.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
At the moment in the properties tab the file names just being indexed are displayed but not the drive (letter) / entire path. How could one show both of them?
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Hover over the text with the mouse cursor to show the full path and filename.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
OK, I will try the next times, thank you.
Why is the entire path not shwon without hovering?

Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Too long, but actually here it looks like as if there would be enough space. OK, thank you.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
Everything 1.5.0.1320a adds a "Used Disk Size" property.
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
That is great! Thank you very much!
After exiting Everything I cannot remove Everything64.exe. A message appears, saying something like, cannot be closed because it is open in Everything:
Do I have to close the Everything service in the Task Manager? Does that property just get the information from the dive (or from wherever) or does it have to index each single file?
Should I exclude files / folders or set anything else here(?):

Should I remove Size on Disk (to be replaced with Used Disk Size):
Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
I added some columns:
But they are not values shown:
What's the mistake?

Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
This issue can occur if the Everything Service is running or the Everything UI process is still running.After exiting Everything I cannot remove Everything64.exe. A message appears, saying something like, cannot be closed because it is open in Everything:
Please try exiting Everything and uninstalling the Everything Service:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Uncheck Everything Service.
- Click OK.
- In Everything, from the File menu, click Exit.
- Delete your Everything.exe
Yes, just stopping the Service is fine.Do I have to close the Everything service in the Task Manager?
1319a and earlier will require administrative privileges to stop the Everything Service.
1320a+ will allow any user to stop the Everything Service.
If you are deleting the Everything.exe it will be better to uninstall the Everything Service.
Otherwise, Windows will try to start this service on next startup and the exe will not exist.
The Everything Service simply allows the Everything search client to index and monitor your NTFS volumes.Does that property just get the information from the dive (or from wherever) or does it have to index each single file?
The Everything service is stateless and uses no notice RAM or CPU.
It is the Everything search client that does all the work maintaining your index.
To index the "Used Disk Size" property, I recommend setting the following options:Should I exclude files / folders or set anything else here(?):
- Check Include folders.
- Uncheck Include files.
- Leave include only folders blank.
- Set Exclude folders to: **\**
(this will index the "Used Disk Size" property for root folders only) - Uncheck Exclude not content indexed.
- Optionally check or uncheck fast sort.
Yes.Should I remove Size on Disk (to be replaced with Used Disk Size):
I added some columns:
These properties are only indexed for your root folders.But they are not values shown:
Please include the following in your search:

Re: Can I display what (what property, what file, etc.) at the moment is being indexed?
There may be an explorer hook that hasn't detached yet. You can download "Process Hacker" (it's a TaskManager on steroids, they're changing the name), open it, press CTRL-F, then search for "everything" or "everything64". It will show you everything that still has its grubby little fingers holding on to Everything/Everything64.Biff wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 7:02 am That is great! Thank you very much!

You can then close that program, or even just close the handles/hooks themselves.

OK, everything done, many thanks.
